What Must the Church of Christ Do To Be Saved?

While not questioning in the least the genuineness of the faith or personal salvation of members of Churches of Christ, the author raises questions as to what these churches must do as a denomination, if that term be allowed, to be "saved" as a viable witness to the Christian faith in today's world. What must it do to save its own people from boredom, mediocrity, and irrelevance? What must it do to escape from its legalistic, sectarian, and isolationist past and become a meaningful part of the larger Christian world? What must it do to be true to the Bible and to its own heritage in the Stone-Campbell unity movement and become truly ecumenical, truly catholic, truly holy, and truly apostolic?
